AEROBIC: Perfluorooctanoic acid, present at 100 mg/L, reached 5% of its theoretical BOD in 4 weeks using an activated sludge inoculum at 30 mg/L in the Japanese MITI test(1). Organic fluorochemical compounds, such as perfluorooctanoic acid, are expected to be resistant to biodegradation(2). A related compound, perfluorooctane sulfonic acid, was found to not degrade under aerobic or anaerobic conditions(3).
12.3 Bioaccumulative potentialBCF values of 3.1 and 9.4 were measured in fish using carp (Cyprinus carpio) which were exposed to 5 and 50 ug/L, respectively, perfluorooctanoic acid over a 4-week period(1). According to a classification scheme(2), these BCF values suggest that bioconcentration in aquatic organisms is low(SRC). Perfluorinated carboxylates with seven carbons or less may have low biomagnification potential in the food chain(3). The bioconcentration factors of perfluorooctanoic acid in wild turtles (Trachemys scriptaelegans and Chinemys reevesii) from the Ai River, Japan ranged from 0.8 to 15.8 (serum/water concentrations)(4).
12.4 Mobility in soilThe log Koc of perfluorooctanoic acid was reported as 1.92-2.59 measured in three soils(1). According to a classification scheme(2), these log Koc values suggest that perfluorooctanoic acid is expected to have high to moderate mobility in soil. Based on a variety of conditions, pKa values of perfluorooctanoic acid have been reported as -0.5 to 4.2(3), indicating that this compound will exist entirely in anion form and anions generally do not adsorb more strongly to soils containing organic carbon and clay than their neutral counterparts(4). The log Koc and log Kd is 10 and 21 in sediment samples collected from Etobicoke Creek, Canada were reported as 0.88-1.85 and 0.16-1.44, respectively(5). The log Kd in 19 sediment samples collected from major rivers, lakes and canals in The Netherlands, May to Aug 2007 was 1.19-2.85(6). The log Koc and log Kd were reported as 2.6-4.2 and 1.3-2.8, respectively, in 32 sediment samples collected along the Haihe River, China; samples were collected April to May 2010(7). The average and median values for log Koc in 17 sediments were both 2.1(8).

13.Disposal considerations 13.1 Disposal methods ProductThe material can be disposed of by removal to a licensed chemical destruction plant or by controlled incineration with flue gas scrubbing. Do not contaminate water, foodstuffs, feed or seed by storage or disposal. Do not discharge to sewer systems.
Contaminated packagingContainers can be triply rinsed (or equivalent) and offered for recycling or reconditioning. Alternatively, the packaging can be punctured to make it unusable for other purposes and then be disposed of in a sanitary landfill. Controlled incineration with flue gas scrubbing is possible for combustible packaging materials.
